National Identity/Security Temporality in the E Conduct of War among Non Democratic States
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
This paper examines the construction of the identity of the security actors in some countries at war, and the sense that these actors give to the concept of temporality. The first section discusses the concept of "the mentality of Pearl Harbor" as structuring repository culture of security actors. The second section discusses the contribution of the concept of “partitioning” in the work of construction of identities of the actors. The third section puts into perspective the product of the confusion between the concepts of strategy and tactics of these actors and its impact on temporality. These three combined sections provide an analysis grid on the dynamics that continue to cross some non democratic African States on security issues decades after independence. Keywords: Identity, security, temporality, construction, war
